About the author
Born in Madagascar in 1880, Hereward Thimbleby Price was an English author who later became a professor of English at the University of Michigan. Reliable library and reference sources identify him as both a creative writer and a serious scholar, especially in Shakespeare studies.
His work ranged widely. Alongside academic research, he also published fiction and nonfiction, including war-related writing that drew on personal experience. That mix of scholarship and lived experience gives his books an unusual flavor: learned, but never entirely cut off from the world beyond the classroom.
Price died in 1964. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources I could verify during this search, so no profile image is included.
